History

Early History

Jessica Pacino is the oldest child of Allon, and Heather Pacino, and through his mother she was born into the large Dresdan House of House Munitz, but through her father she became a member of House Pacino the second most powerful Spanish house in the city.

Manipulation

Jessica Pacino during her youth would befriend a young Jute the same age as herself and while she saw him as a close friend he would become obsessed with her leading to him beggining to use Magi on her to menipulate her leading to her first meeting with the Magi creature created by Lerris in the form of Arial of whom appeared to Jessica during the night as an angel.

Cult of Sigmar

As the city of Dresdan begin to unleash its brand of racist hatred Jessica's unique worship of Sigmar meant that early in the conflict she was contacted while she was praying at the temple of Sigmar by the leadership of the Anvil of Sigmar, who were an extremely militaristic order that represented the Sigmar worshippers in the city of Dresdan. As she listened to them she found herself agreeing with their points and thus she worked very closely with them to attempt to gain the order power within the city. Businesses run by the order were given advantages silently by her through menipulation of her family members, and she was able to increase dramatically the wealth of the Anvil of Sigmar.

Conversion of House Pacino

“Listen to me father. This is the path of what is truly right in the world. It matters not what this fake dragon tells its followers for if you listen to me then you will hear the true words of the only god on this world.”

— Jessica Pacino

Jessica Pacino would be commanded by the Knight-Captain of the Anvil of Sigmar in the form of Tranis Skalner to make great efforts in converting her father and by extension all of House Pacino to the worship of Sigmar, and believing truly in his words she would return to her families estate where she begin to work at converting her father. Unknown to Jessica was the continued menipulation of Lerris Tonproth of whom would use the entrance she allowed him to begin to use his Magi to get into the mind of her father making him begin to hear voices which Lerris made him believe was Sigmar himself. While Jessica was pressuring her father about the truth of Sigmar her father was beginning to hear the voices in his head which were telling him to believe her and to follow him, and thus with all of this coming together Allon Pacino would convert to the worship of Sigmar and on the urging of his daughter Jessica would command the remainder of the family to also convert. His movement towards following the voices in his head would also lead to him converting all three of his vassal houses in the form of House Aldana, House Escarra, and House Gallo to the worship of Sigmar which together brought a huge swing to the Sigmarite forces in a short period of time.

Dresdan Market Massacre

Dresdan Market MassacreFor whatever reason he wasn't happy with a slow growth anymore. He wanted more power, and I guess he was dumb enough to think that killing people's children, and brides was the right way to get that.

“The Market was the first strike. After they butchered those poor souls in the market everyone knew the lines were drawn.”

— Sophia Lovie

The Dresdan Civil War could be argued started the day that Angelo Ambronogi entered Dresdan and turned Francis Munitz towards the forces of Chaos, but the actual event that sparked the conflict was the Chaos forces destructive event which is now known as the Dresdan Market Massacre. This movement led to the creation of the Forsaken which was built as a rebellious movement that wanted more rights in the region of Dresdan, but once you joined you realized that it was actually a chaotic movement that you either gave into Chaos or were quickly silenced. As this movement gathered steam they begin sparking a conflict between those who worshiped the Dragon, and those who worshiped Sigmar. As Francis Munitz begin planning for the Market Massacre he was completely aware of the growing religious movement, but as he shuffled in hundreds of Chaos cultists into the city swelling his numbers the Sigmarite's and Dragonoph's were far too busy with each other to notice the change. This conflict spilled into street fighting which the military of Dresdan was unable to contain, and entire neighborhoods were turned into battlegrounds as the conflict escalated. The religious section of Dresdan became more and more polarized and in this way each of the houses of Dresdan picked a side and this was believed to be the starting of the civil war, but in fact it was the massacre at the Dresdan Market that would truly begin the civil war. Around this time Sophia Lovie and the Order of the Violet Dragon would move northward in an effort to ambush a Sigmarite force that was moving towards the Dresdan Republic from the north.

“What manner of stupidity allowed me to not see that my brother was mad? Was he always this way or did some failing on our part turn him into this creature of madness.”

— Franky Munitz

With the Forsaken moving towards becoming a legitimate force within Dresdan the violent nature of Francis worked itself together during the events of the Dresdan Market Massacre. Francis wanted an event so grand in scope that his movement would finally get the notice and recognition that he believed it so desperately needed. His commanders argued that they were growing in strength and they didn't need the attention that would come with a large scale attack, but he controlled the movement and forced it to follow him. By this point Angelo had left Dresdan and moved onto his next coruption, but Francis was not ready to fully take control, and this was the first sign of this. The plan by Francis quickly became to use nearly the entire strength of the Forsaken to assault the Dresdan markets and kill everyone there. His commanders were horrified as this could kill many allies of the Forsaken and also frighten the merchants who were required for any kind of power play, but he was beyond control at this point. Alongside his madness in this was the chance meeting between Francis and his cousin Jimmy Fletzmiller of whom he would meet after Jimmy was returning from Dresdan on an especially long trading mission all the way north to Denmark. Jimmy was prepared to rest himself for a long time before going back to the road, but only a few days into his return he was met by his cousin Francis Muntiz who asked him to come see the opening of his merchant shop in downtown Dresdan. He agreed as he was glad that his cousin was taking an interest in the economic interests of House Munitz, and this acceptance gave Francis the idea of luring in others from his family.

“My brother came by today Amanda. Everything in me tells me he's lying but my sister wishes for us to give him another chance and so I shall. I'll see you when I get back. I love you.”

— Letter to Amanda from Franky

In Francis's madness, and arrogance from the luring of his cousin he returned to his family where he had been absent from for well over a year, and with his return he invited them to meet him the next week to see the opening of his own shop in town. The day that his supposed open, and the attack was planned for was a very busy day for the markets as it was the monthly rush on new goods coming in from the port, and thus the numbers within the Market would be heavy. His family was obviously skeptical, and many simply turned him down outright but Franky's sister Jessie Munitz would push hard for her family to support Francis but despite this only Franky would go with her on the day of the attack.

“I was walking fast trying to hold onto Jessie's hand so that she didn't run off in her enthusiasm to see Francis's booth. She looked back at me laughing as I held her tight and then I heard a whistle in the air. Jessie let out a scream and before I could hold her up I felt something ping against my shoulder knocking me to the ground. ”

— Franky Munitz

On the day of the attack Franky left a letter behind for Amanda of whom by this point could barely walk due to her pregnancy and then left her sleeping in his room before finding his sister and gathering some men to take with them and then going to the market. Francis and his Forsaken had already by this point captured much of the market, with the least important stores captured by their men and closed signs placed on them. In these captured buildings they placed crossbowmen in large numbers, and this was especially true for the more center area where they had some three hundred men in the market square for the attack. One hundred Forsaken men waited on either bridge for the attack signal to be sent and when that happened they would storm the two towers guarding the bridge and then prepare to shoot anyone down who attempted to cross the bridge. With preparations done Francis waited in his fake store for his brother and sister to come and his plan was to signal the attack once he had killed Franky. Franky his four men and Jessie Munitz came to the Market around ten in the morning meeting their cousin Jimmy and his wife along the way, and by this point it was already packed to near madness but despite wishing to wait until it was less busy Jessie grabbed his hand and pulled him forward. Walking down the street he sees many nobles and makes notes of what they appear to be doing, but it as they walk that Dewey Munitz hiding on a rooftop sparks the attack to quickly when he sees a shot at Franky Munitz and takes it. Dewey misses Franky and strikes his sister Jessie in the chest killing her and then causing all the other Forsaken in his building to open fire as well. Dewey lights the signal fire for his building which spreads to the other Forsaken forces and causes the bridge forces to attack the towers.

“The pain in my shoulder wasn't so bad but as I got up and saw her broken body I felt more pain then I had felt before. I crawled towards her touching her face briefly before a bolt flew through the air killing a poor women only a few feet away from me causing her to fall into me.”

— Franky Munitz

Franky took a shot off the shoulder plate of his armor and fell to the ground of which Dewey thought killed him and thus Dewey left the building commanding his force to follow him onto the street to take the head of his brother. Coming onto the street Dewey found a wounded Jimmy Fletzmiller crying over his fallen wife and without pause Franky saw Dewey stab him through the back of the neck, and realizing he didn't have much time Franky quickly gathered more men to him, and it was in this form that Dewey found Franky organizing the people fleeing to go into the buildings and fight inside until relief came. Franky though stopped telling people to flee when he saw that Dewey had seen him and seeing this Dewey charged with his eight men against Franky. Franky now aided by two others fought against Dewey and his forces, and despite Dewey being aided by his Chaos Mutations Franky managed to kill three of them men and knock Dewey to the ground embarrassing him and when two other market goers entered the fight Dewey found himself forced to flee. Fleeing down the street Franky chased after him finally catching him near the Forsaken headquarters in the Market where the two fought briefly before Franky stabbed him through the chest fatally wounding his brother. At the sound of Dewey screaming Francis Munitz came running and prepared to fight Franky when he was pulled away by two of his commanders who told him relief was coming and they had succeeded in their massacre but needed to escape while they still could.

“He was screaming like a mad man as he ran to his boats. He wasn't my brother anymore. It wasn't the Chaos painted armor he wore. It wasn't the chaos flags he carried. These things were bad choices but still he would be my brother if that was all he did. ”

— Franky Munitz

Barely controlling his rage Franky cursed his brother watching him flee onto boats with hundreds of other Forsaken going southward down the stream leading out of the Market. Franky quickly came to and went back to find his sisters body and hugged her tight crying into her shoulder until he was pulled away by his father of whom had a single tear in his eyes when he pulled Franky away. In the end the Forsaken had killed nearly eighty percent of the people that were in the market causing the deaths of hundreds of people of which many were nobles, and for their own side they had lost some numbers but not heavy enough to evan be remembered by their forces. The death of Dewey Munitz who was the third in command of the Forsaken forces was a large loss of which the Forsaken were shocked by.

Retaking of the Market

Recovering from Betrayal

As the violence in the streets continued she along with the Anvil of Sigmar became shocked by the massacre at the market. The massacre at the market was the entry into the conflict of the Forsaken who were a cult of chaos worhsippers led by her cousin Francis Munitz. During the massacre she lost two of her cousins and the Anvil of Sigmar was nearly destroyed as well, as their headquarters was located undernearth the market. Luckily for the order the Forsaken did not go underground or find any trace of the Anvil and thus their survival continued.
